Description
In January 1973, two pirated Beatles box sets appeared in the United States, Alpha Omega Volumes I & II: The Story Of The Beatles (Audio Tape Inc. ATRBH 3583). These four-LP collections were advertised on TV and radio stations in the Midwest and were sold by mail order. Instead of taking legal action, Capitol Records countered by putting out two official Beatles anthologies, The Beatles 1962-1966 (US: Apple SKBO 3403) and The Beatles 1967-1970 (US: Apple SKBO 3404).
However, in March, a $15 million lawsuit was filed by manager Allen Klein on behalf of George Harrison, along with Capitol and Apple Records, against the manufacturers and distributors of the bootleg package, and against American Broadcasting Companies, Inc., who had been advertising it. This is the T.V. Products issue of the box set with gold labels.
This auction is for volume 2. All 4 records are in excellent condition appearing basically unplayed free from scuffs, scratches, or even spindle marks. The box obviously shows some wear (see pictures), but is fully intact. There is one small tear at the top of the lid of the box (see pictures). This rare set features weird stereo mixes not commonly heard on other collections. Please ask any questions if you need any further clarification. Thank you!
